The Light Reaction Regiment is the only tier one special forces of the Philippine Army (PA). Formed in the Early 2000s, and was formerly known as the Light Reaction Battalion and Light Reaction Company. Due to its specialization in black operation, capture or kill high-value targets, counterterrorism and hostage rescue crisis management, direct action, executive protection, irregular warfare, and special operations that are extremely high-risk and dangerous. The formation of the unit is assisted by American advisers, the Light Reaction Regiment has been sometimes referred to as the Philippines' Delta Force.[3]
The LRR is under the control of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Special Operations Command (AFPSOCOM).[4] It is based at Fort Ramon Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija. Their motto is from the famous Luna Sharpshooters of Antonio Luna during the Philippine-American War, with the moniker of "Marksmen of Death" (Spanish: Tiradores de la Muerte).
